Finding trusted pet sitters for international trips

Pet owners traveling internationally struggle to find reliable, vetted pet sitters willing to handle extended stays (7+ days) with specific care needs like medications or special diets. Existing platforms like Rover and Care.com have inconsistent availability in non-urban areas and pet owners report difficulty verifying sitter reliability for longer absences when owners cannot pop home to check.
